All eyes are on Bronny James as the 2024 NBA Draft is set to kick off on Wednesday night. And as his future team is still shrouded in mystery, his ultimate draft is going to make a huge impact on both the NBA and the sneaker industry, as he could potentially become the future of LeBron James’ trademark Nike sneaker line. So what’s his take on fashion?

In the world of sports, CU Buffs HC Deion Sanders’ fashion influence spans across the world of football. Coach Prime is known for his signature quote on looking good which goes, “If you dress good, you feel good. If you feel good, you play good. If you play good, they pay good.” Such a simple statement yet such profundity! Even the son of the NBA legend agrees with Coach Prime on this. 

Bronny James agrees with Deion Sanders’ fashion philosophy

Ahead of the highly-anticipated NBA Draft, Bronny James made an appearance on the 300th episode of Complex’s “Sneaker Shopping” with Joe La Puma on June 25. According to a recent X tweet, the interview saw Deion Sanders’ name popping up as the pair talked about his red “6” sneakers. As the post tweeted, “CP [Coach Prime] is a foundational philosopher for the generations!”

Joe La Puma incited a response from Bronny James on how it feels like to play in shoes specifically tailored for you. In his reply, the 19-year-old USC Trojans guard, who has a reported net worth of $10.5 million, said, “It’s a different feeling which I can see gets you hyped.” With Deion Sanders going big with his sneaker collaboration with Nike, he has inspired several prominent names in sports including LeBron James himself!

Deion Sanders served as an inspiration for LeBron James’ Air DT Max

Earlier in February at the 2024 NBA All-Star Game, Lakers legend LeBron James surprised his fans with the cool LeBron 21 Air DT Max. During the pregame video by NBA Kicks, he showed off his sneakers while paying tribute to Deion Sanders for the inspiration. He said, “Right here, these are LeBron 21 mixed with the prime Deion.”

The LeBron 21 sneakers bore a striking resemblance to Coach Prime’s Air DT Max ‘96 which is a classic from his playing days in the 1990s. It features a similar design of the trademark black and white clash with slight gold touches. There’s no end to Coach Prime’s ventures with Nike as his latest Air DT Max ‘96 shoes sold out in a matter of minutes after its launch. And that’s not going to be the end. Undoubtedly, he’ll remain an inspiration for many people in the days to come.
